Loyal fans showed support in the comments section of their latest Instagram share.
“Happy coming out nick,” said one fan while another wrote, “Congrats on coming out, Nick! Enjoy being you and your newfound freedom.”
“Glad you’ve been able to come out and embrace your gender recently,” wrote one. “I’m not sure how you feel about Polaris and that part of your past now, but I appreciate the work you did with the character, of which the broader mutant rights and survivor parts were always what mattered to me. Hoping the best for you in the future.”
Emma, or Nick to those close to them, has had a whirlwind of success in recent years. They gained widespread recognition after portraying Jackie Oppenheimer, Robert Oppenheimer’s sister-in-law, in Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed Oppenheimer.

The film was a juggernaut at the box office and swept the 2024 Oscars, bagging seven awards.
Jackie Oppenheimer may not have been a household name, but Emma’s portrayal brought depth and nuance to the character, earning them critical acclaim.
The young star has made quite a mark for themselves in the industry with roles in Licorice Pizza and Marvel’s TV series The Gifted.
Emma played Polaris, daughter to X-Men character Magneto in the Marvel series.
“I love Marvel. I love all of Marvel, but I love the X-Men because of what they stand for,” they said in a 2019 interview with Lapalme Magazine.
“Their work name is still going to be Emma Dumont, but they will go by Nick with friends and family,” the rep said

“It’s beyond this beautiful theory that ‘everyone can be a hero’ and goes one step past that to address being a minority, prejudice, isolation and overall just feeling alone. I’ve always loved the X-Men for teaching me that it doesn’t matter if I’m different or weird because my true family is out there,” they continued. “There is a place for all of us.”
When asked about how they “let loose” when they are not on set, Emma spoke about indulging in plenty of reality TV.
“I’m not afraid to admit that I LOVE reality TV and not the shows that most people watch,” they told the outlet.
Loyal followers flooded social media with encouraging messages, celebrating the star’s decision to live authentically

“Everyone knows I’m obsessed with RuPaul’s Drag Race and can frequently be seen getting into in-depth conversations about the queens,” they went on to say.
“I also love all the TLC shows,” they added. “Recently I just discovered Dr. Pimple Popper, which at first I thought would be so gross, but isn’t at all, and the Dr. is so smart and sweet and ends up changing people’s lives forever.”
“Enjoy being you and your newfound freedom,” one fan said in support

"Trans masculine non-binary", I don't even know what all these "variations" mean anymore... But why do people have to tell the world what they are? Just go be yourself, just go f**k who you want, or don't f**k, whatever...

It means that they are non-binary (which falls under the trans term) and presenting a more masculine appearance.

Call me old fashion all you want but it's time we cut the cr@p ..... there are males and females. Two. That's binary alright. You might feel different from what you are, You might get transformed, but it's still binary. And if you feel different every hour of the day you have other issues to address then your gender (in some cases just seeking attention).

I feel so awful for people born into the wrong bodies! 😱 I’ve always loved my body, but if I woke tomorrow in a man”# body I’d prolly spend the next 24 hours sticking my new appendage anywhere someone’d let me, and all the days afterward screaming in terror. My cow, that’s awful beyond my comprehension. And as if that’s not bad enough, there are far, FAR too many people out there who oddly care about what you do with your genitalia, and will hurt you for it. Christ; I can even comprehend how hard these peoples’ lives must be. I hope nothing but the best for Emma.

I am interested in the sexuality of a person just as soon as I want to have sex with them - not earlier. ... and I always announce it well in advance. ;)

It's not a sexuality, it's a gender. Gender matters as soon as you're talking about them.
